Days of Our Lives stars revealed who their first crushes were on and many of the answers were both hysterical and surprising.
Love is always in the air on soap operas, especially around Valentine’s Day. Last year’s romantic holiday was eventful on Days of Our Lives. Steve and Kayla took a walk down memory lane while Theresa hoped Alex would propose to her, and John and Marlena had a fun picnic celebration. While Salem couples prepare to celebrate this year, several DAYS actors were asked about their real-life loves.
From Will Smith to Donny Osmond
On TikTok, the official DAYS page posted a video captioned, “Who was your childhood crush? 😍Tell us!” First up in the clip, Elia Cantu (Jada) told Jackée Harry (Paulina), “Will Smith.” To which Harry replied, “Will Smith?” Cantu explained, “Yeah, he’s all over my walls.” Harry explained that hers was Cheers alum Ted Danson, and she happily added, “I wanted to have that!”
Meanwhile, on DAYS’ interview couch, Abigail Klein (Stephanie) sat next to Robert Scott Wilson (Alex), and her eyes lit up as she gasped in shock, recalling, “Jonathan Taylor Thomas [Home Improvement]. Aaaaaaaaahh!” Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) revealed, “Oh, big time, big time, was Donny Osmond.” Al Calderon (Javi) explained, “I was a big Christina Aguilera like I was at her concerts, and stood on the chair and was blowing kisses. My like, gay awakening was Nelly in the Hot In Herre video.”
Some Crushes Were Shocking
Next up was Leo Howard (Tate), who stated, “I had a huge crush on Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian.” Wilson explained his was wrestler Stacey Keibler. “I remember I loved her as a kid.” Paul Telfer (Xander), sitting next to Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), revealed his first crush, “Was a girl that was in my class and her name was Linsey!” prompting Godfrey to burst into laughter. 
Stephen Nichols (Steve), stated, “The minute Annette Funicello came on the scene, I was gaga.” Ashley Puzemis (Holly), explained, “Mine was, like, Harry Styles…Angelina Jolie, like woman crush.” Greg Rikaart (Leo) remarked, “Cybill Shepherd, Bruce Willis…obsessed with both of them.”
